Breast dose in conventional and digital mamography
Introduction: The amount of doses received in mammography is one of the biggest concerns in the world. According to some statistics, every 12 minutes a woman dies due to breast cancer. Mammography concerned to detect breast cancer at an early stage of the disease as well as for screening, however due to the risk of exposure, the increasingly and widespread use of mammography fo...
متن کاملRadiation dose of digital radiography (DR) versus micro-dose x-ray (EOS) on patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: 2016 SOSORT- IRSSD “John Sevastic Award” Winner in Imaging Research
BACKGROUND Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) frequently receive x-ray imaging at diagnosis and subsequent follow monitoring. The ionizing radiation exposure has accumulated through their development stage and the effect of radiation to this young vulnerable group of patients is uncertain. To achieve the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) concept of radiation dose in medic...
متن کاملA Comparison of Patients Absorption Doses with Bone Deformity Due to the EOS Imaging and Digital Radiology
Background: This study has aimed to measure the patient dose in entire spine radiography by EOS system in comparison with the digital radiography. Methods: EOS stereo-radiography was used for frontal and lateral view spine imaging in 41 patients in a prospective analytical study. A calibrated dose area product (DAP) meter was used for calibration of the DAP in EOS system. The accuracy and pr...
متن کاملForeword: Radiology Select Volume 5—Radiation Dose and Dose Reduction
When we chose Radiation Dose and Dose Reduction as the topic for the fifth volume in the Radiology Select series, we were very excited about offering a compilation of articles on a theme of utmost importance to all radiologists and health care providers. The concept of the right radiation dose for the right study, at the right time, is central to optimizing care for those patients who require i...
متن کاملIntroducing Radiology Select: Radiation Dose and Dose Reduction
As a consequence of the success of medical imaging over the past decades for aid in accurately diagnosing disease or injury and guiding therapy, the collective radiation dose delivered to the U.S. population from medical imaging has increased six-fold since the 1980s (1,2). This has resulted in substantial concern from physicians, patients, and regulators. Consequently, radiation dose managemen...
